Rufiath is a lawyer in Melbourne. She was born in India and moved to Australia aged 6. She was studying Science/Arts at Melbourne University at the time of the attacks. She had only been wearing a headscarf for about a year. She describes feeling fear and experiencing hostility. She says 9/11 was the impetus for her to study law in New York (Long Island) and get heavily involved as an advocate for the Muslim community.
